letra de husbands and other strangers - mal blum

she said i’ve always loved the navy something about the uniforms
in fact when i met my husband did you know he had it on?
some men can’t take no for answer
i’ve known so many of them
so i pretend not to remember when you ask me who he is
i don’t remember him
and i wish i was stronger i wish i had longer
i wish i could save you from the water
but there is no life vest why have i waited
after all this time i don’t know when to leave it alone

you know most of them never loved me
only loved the things i had
they could try convince me
they try to force my hand
but of course there were some good ones
the men that made the staunchest friends
i lost them all back in the eighties
some right in this bed
soon i’ll join them

and i wish i was stronger i wish i had longer
i wish i could stop the boat from taking on more water
but there is no life vest why have i waited
after all this time i don’t know when to leave it alone
she says they don’t appreciate you
they don’t know just what they had
would be better to die with those
than to lose a decent man

i stay up all night drinking coffee
i try to make her laugh
drunk and tangled up in cables
yelling at a photograph
as if it might talk back
[?]
the closer you got to the end
you said let them come and bulldoze
whatever else is left
and i knew what you meant
